Can A Child Have Enlarged Heart With No Symptoms?
My son is 3 and wet to the doctors yesterday, had x-rays... the doctor called a few hours later and said that there is a suspicion that his heart may be enlarged, he is very energetic and does not have any symptoms that I have read online.... Is this something that could happen in a few months time frame?

Hello and welcome to health care magic forum. X rays can give spurious results due to rotation.If your child is asymptomatic then there is no need to panic.Get an echocardiogram to releive the doubt.
